You will want to ask questions about Python on Mac OS X on the Pythonmac
list.
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.apple
But you need to supply more information. There are many reasons why you
might get an import error. You should supply the exact traceback from
the failing import and say which Python instance you are using, which
version of MySQLdb, which set of MySQL client libraries - all of which
need to be built compatibly (i.e. compatible CPU archs and deployment
targets) and packaged in the app bundle or installed externally on the
end user's machine. You need to specify what version of OS X you are
using and what range of OS X versions your app is targeted for. And you
should say whether everything works without trying to use py2app.
Getting a working combination of python, MySQLdb, and MySQL client libs
on OS X can be frustrating if you try to guess at it or use binaries
from different suppliers. If possible, use a complete solution from a
3rd-party open source packager, like MacPorts or Homebrew.
